Russian-Language Video Service Now Available in America, Canada, and England

Want to learn Russian by watching movies filmed in the language? Have a Ukrainian wife or girlfriend who misses the shows from her home? Then here’s some exciting news: Ukrainian online video service Megogo.net has expanded its service to include viewers outside the FSU. Folks in Canada, America, and England can now subscribe to the service and stream Russian-language programming from the comfort of their home, thousands of miles from the nearest Russian-speaking country.

“The Internet breaks down borders and we plan on becoming the largest online cinema for Russian speakers in the world,” CEO Vladimir Borovik said in a statement. “It's a massive market – based on our estimates, some 300 million people across the world understand Russian.”

Megogo.net is also expanding its service to include Israel, Brazil, and Germany. The Kiev-based company currently offers over 5,000 hours of movies, documentaries, cartoons, and television shows, though it plans to greatly expand its library next year.
